“…A study in EU member countries showed that the rate of victimization ranged from 2.8 to 31.5%, from 3.0 to 30.6% of cyber perpetration ( Henares-Montiel et al, 2022 ). Several studies have revealed that cyberbullying may lead to anxiety, depression, loneliness, social withdrawal, substance abuse, self-harm, and suicidality ( Kwan et al, 2020 ; Giumetti et al, 2021 ; Chu et al, 2022 ; Coelho et al, 2022 ; Pichel et al, 2022 ). However, much previous research focused on teenagers, and relatively few studies were conducted on university students.…”

Childhood abuse has been shown to have a range of adverse physical and psychological consequences, including aggression and bullying. While researchers have explored the relationship between childhood abuse and cyberbullying, little is known about the impact of emotional abuse on cyberbullying. This study examined the link between childhood emotional abuse (CEA) and cyberbullying perpetration among university students in the Chinese cultural context, as well as the chain mediating effect of self-esteem and Problematic Social Media Use (PSMU). A total of 835 university students (18–25 years old; 293 males, 542 females; Mage = 19.44 years, SD = 1.28) completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short-Form (CTQ-SF), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Social Media Use Questionnaire (SMUQ), and Cyberbullying Inventory (CBI). The results showed that CEA and PSMU were positively correlated with cyberbullying; self-esteem was negatively correlated with cyberbullying. Besides, self-esteem and PSMU sequentially mediated the relationship between CEA and cyberbullying perpetration. The findings indicate that childhood emotional abuse may lower self-esteem and cause problematic social media use, which increases cyberbullying perpetration.

“…Moreover, as underlined by the results of a recent systematic review by John et al ( 2018 ), students involved in cyberbullying are at a greater risk of suicidal ideation and attempts of suicide than students who are not involved. Significantly, substance abuse such as alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis smoking was among the main behavioral negative consequences associated with youth involved as cyberbullies (Kowalski et al, 2014 ; Yoon et al, 2019 ; Eyuboglu et al, 2021 ; Pichel et al, 2022 ).…”

“…More recent studies also reported similar results (Sampasa-Kanyinga et al, 2020 ; Eyuboglu et al, 2021 ; Yang et al, 2021 ; Buelga et al, 2022 ). Substance abuse (such as alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis smoking) (McCuddy and Esbensen, 2017 ; Graham and Wood, 2019 ; Sampasa-Kanyinga et al, 2020 ; Pichel et al, 2022 ), sex with multiple partners (Graham and Wood, 2019 ), low school achievements (Guo, 2016 ), and delinquency (Nasaescu et al, 2020 ) are among the major behavioral negative consequences associated with the experience of cybervictimization.…”

Onset risk factors for youth involvement in cyberbullying and cybervictimization: A longitudinal study

et al. 2023

IntroductionCyberbullying and cybervictimization are spread worldwide, and due to COVID-19, an increasing number of children and adolescents have been impacted. Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, research has investigated and highlighted the key risk factors for cyberbullying and cybervictimization, and numerous anti-cyberbullying prevention and intervention programs have been developed and assessed for their efficacy. Despite this, no studies have specifically focused on the individual, relational, and contextual risk factors associated with the onset of youth involvement in cyberbullying and cybervictimization.MethodsTo address this lacuna, 333 Italian students aged 10–16 years (M = 12.16, SD = 1.35) were involved in a year-long longitudinal study and filled in the anonymous online actuarial Tabby Improved Checklist two times with a 6-month interval. Onset risk factors for cyberbullying and cybervictimization have been separately analyzed by excluding all students involved in cyberbullying from the original sample or in the cybervictimization baseline (T1).ResultsThe results showed that being male, being involved in school bullying, having low levels of awareness of online risk, and having high levels of affective empathy were all significant onset risk factors for cyberbullying. Similarly, being male, being involved in school bullying and victimization, having high levels of affective empathy, and moral disengagement were onset risk factors for cybervictimization.ConclusionGiven the negative psychological and behavioral consequences of cyberbullying and cybervictimization, this article includes discussions on practical and policy implications for future research, stressing the need to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of primary prevention programs addressing and managing onset risk factors for cyberbullying and cybervictimization.

“…The causes of cyberbullying were complex and overlapping [1,7]. Personal emotions, parenting, and the online environment were essential factors in the formation of cyberbullying [8][9][10]. Cyberbullying could have enormous negative impacts on those who experience it.…”

Cyberbullying has become a global public health problem among adolescents. The impact of cyberbullying on its participants was also different. Cyberbullying greatly impacted the victim's physical and mental health, and cyberbullies were more prone to bad behavior. This paper summarized the causes of cyberbullying, including the causes of individuals, family environment, and online environment, effects and interventions from cyber bystanders, school education practitioners, and techniques. The results showed that some interventions were effective, such as encouraging bystanders to intervene during bullying, strengthening school educators’ interventions by teaching cyberbullying knowledge, and cooperating with other educational roles. These findings were significant in adding further in-depth understandings of Cyberbullying and further developing more effective interventions for it.
